South Africa's Toughest 4x4 Tracks | Cape Route Rally 2024

Our convoy of 8 rigs made our way into the bush as we did a quick warmup lap of Koningskop 4x4 Track. We then bounced over to Marcuskraal to take on their track before heading to our overnight accommodation at Boegoeberg.
Day 2: The day started at the Lambersbay Dunes. After spending the morning playing the red-ish Kalahari powder sand we made our way to the Boegoeberg 4x4 track. We ventured to the top, and through the clouds and the rain we went, we even got hail ontop of the mountain. On our way down, Antony's Patrol took a quick nap on its side. Thankfully it was a slow tip-over and with 14 men strong, we managed to lift the Patrol back onto its wheels.
Day 3: After a quick fuel stop at Clainwilliam, we headed into the Cederberg. Today we would take on one of South Africa's toughest and steepest climbs. Johnny se Poort is an incredibly steep and rocky climb. Upon inspection, we found that the route has been blocked by a rockfall. Relieved, the group turned around and took a detour to the top of Johnny se Poort. This is where things got serious. Jokes about moving the rock and trying the track quickly become reality. Half of the rockfall was able to be cleared and soon enough we had 2 contenders willing to drive down Johnny se Poort. Slowly they slid they way down the track and with their nerves sky-high, the rest of the group decided to chicken out and take the detour back home for the night.
Day 4: The final day of the rally and after the adrenalin and nerve-wracking route of day 3, today was just a cool-down lap. The group made their way into the Tankwa via the Katbakkies pass. Prize-giving and final goodbyes were said at the Tankwa Padstal and this is were the Cape Route Rally of 2024 finished.
It was 4 days of absolutely awesome wheeling, good banter and memories that will last a lifetime. This is the start of big things to come!

This is not just about your skill level and how capable your 4x4 is. This is mainly about how deep your pockets are, even when you do all the repairs yourself, as it should be.

So next time you guys are game- call Erik de Meilander of Bushman’s Cave Bergteater- he has a Grade 5 called Klippekou. Absolutely brilliant trail.
